Working with a new divorce attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Jill usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

• How much does it cost to hire Jill for a divorce case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Jill walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Jill offer a free consultation?

  Jill charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Jill's office. Some divorce attorneys offer free consults — check Jill's current terms during booking.

• How long do divorce cases in Virginia typically take?

  Simple divorce matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Jill gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Jill take my case if I'm outside Virginia Beach?

  Jill is licensed in Virginia. Matters governed by Virginia law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Jill will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Jill?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Jill will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Jill accepting new divorce clients right now?

  Jill's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
